You might consider the BT-100 torch from "Solder-It Company" in
Cleveland, OH
It has push button ignition (no matches in the wind!) and is easy to
use. They also sell silver bearing solder paste (SP-7) in a syringe
that melts at a lower temp than regular solder and is easy to use.

This might sound like an ad, but I have no connection with the co. I
just saw a demo of the torch at the Arlington, TX Hamcom last weekend
and bought one for myself. Its really neat!

I also purchased a Solder-It setup at a hamfest. The demo is impressive, and
the Solder-It folks are real nice, but when I got it home and started using it
I was rather disappointed. I ended up going back to my old 250 Watt, dual
headlamp Weller and regular Kester resin core solder. Now all the Solder-it
does is shrink heat shrink tubing (which it does a good job of if you are
careful). It's also good for soldering paperclips together:-)
